Square dates and details The Forge, Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s first DLC

Square Enix has offered up details of The Forge, Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s first post-launch DLC “adventure”, which is due to arrive for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on November 13th.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is set to receive a whopping seven DLC episodes in total, each arriving roughly a month apart. The first of these, The Forge, sees Lara “brave the lava-flooded Forge of the fallen gods to uncover the secrets of Kuwaq Yaku.” There’s also talk of Lara uncovering a friend’s legacy, and overcoming “a danger long thought to be lost in flame”. Losing your danger in a flame sounds awfully careless to me.

Long distance, Lara.

The Forge is said to take the form of a brand-new challenge tomb, playable either solo and co-operatively, although it’s unclear just how substantial this particular tomb might be. Completing The Forge’s challenges unlocks the Grenadier skill, Brocken outfit, and Umbrage 3-80 weapon.

Come November 13th, The Forge will be available to purchase on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC for $4.99 (around £4). It’s also included as part of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Season Pass, which costs £22.99/$29.99 USD.
